Hi everyone! I came across this interesting factoid over at Haalo's site today: it's the Year of the Potato! It's also Seafood Month, which is excellent news for everyone because we all know that fish and seafood are good for us!! In addition to giving us some heart-healthy fats and Omega-3's, fish can help prevent things like Alzheimer's Disease too! Couple that with the awesome nutrients found in the common potato (vitamin C, vitamin B6, copper, potassium, manganese, and dietary fiber to name a few) and we're all going to be some happy, HEARTy, healthy foodies! Can I get any more "ies" in there? I won't try, I promise!

So with that preamble, no one should be surprised at the goodies coming your way today. What I propose is a simple, wholesome weeknight meal - in - a - crust that can be thrown together simply with a salad on the side, with all the rich goodness of salmon and potatoes and less money out of your pocket. Yes, people, I'm talking cannedsalmon. It's easy, cheap, and just as healthy, and it's an excellent staple pantry item. Mash the bones in too for the extra calcium! The buttermilk (which everyone knows by now is actually low-fat) gives the filling a creamy texture and a tang that blends perfectly with the herbs.
